Droid can be bought by 120USD only (with a plan) while this Google Phone for 180? Hmm.. I'm just thinking... And then all of a sudden when Nexus 2 arrives.. they will cut the price of the phone from 530 to 300? LOL

Nexus One reactions and opinion: http://bit.ly/nexus-one-price-too-much-or-not-details

Time to think with our wallets attached on our cerebral cortex sometimes... some tech-savvy people aren't that much of a richie rich too you know..

The phone should support mutlitouch, the apps just aren't using it.

Once the Milestone gets up to 2.1, I'd expect some adb pull/push magickery will resolve that issue. ]]>Dec 30th 2009 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/Dec 30th 2009 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/Dec 30th 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/Dec 30th 2009 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/Dec 30th 2009 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/Dec 30th 2009 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/Dec 30th 2009 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/ nice plug :) and so true...i havent seen an article post since release

That's what she said.

There's a huge discussion raging here about it: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/nexus-one-google-phone-news/100-price-point-leak-530-unsubsodized-180-t-mobile.html]]>Dec 30th 2009 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/
So whats the deal? I've seen people on the forum saying that the phone just needs a data plan to work...how the heck will you make calls with just a data plan?]]>Dec 30th 2009 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/Dec 30th 2009 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/
VOIP.....and? I'm fully aware of what VOIP is but you still haven't answered anything. Are you saying that one could have and data plan AND sign up for a VOIP service? More than one or two words would help.]]>Dec 30th 2009 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/To answer you question straight, yes, you would sign up for a VOIP service and a data plan.

http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/google-makes-gizmo5-acquisition-official-drops-few-details/

When Google bought Gizmo5, it made me wonder what was going on, but now it all makes sense. Did you ever hear about Google Voice? Google Voice will be using (if it's not already) Gizmo5 to make phone calls cheaper.

Gizmo5 is a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) provider that allows you to use VOIP with any device you want to use (I use SIP on my Nokia E71, works great over WIFI, not so much over 3G, uplink is lagging).

Google is going to be pushing that service so Carriers (T-mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Rogers, Bell, Telus and others) just become dumb pipes and all we have to buy is data. With a data plan we have access to everything we want. No more confusing plans with minutes, Text-messaging, MMS, data and so on. The functionality will be there, it will just be how much data your using.

The problem, carriers aren't going to want to give in to that way. "Minutes" and txting are their cash grab.

Also, LTE is right around the corner and that is IP only (no voice) and will be using VOIP to make phone calls.

People may bring up VoLGA (traditional voice functionality for LTE)
but I hope that's not the case and they go the IP Multimedia Subsystem way (Gizmo5).

IMO, IP Multimedia Subsystem will be the better one to use. There is a lot more functionality than VoLGA.

I hope that's enough info for you. Comment if I got anything wrong or you need to know more.

Step 2: They root their phone.

I think Apple has just trained everybody's brains to believe that the built-in apps on your phone are non-replaceable. Well that's part of what makes Android so great, you can flat-out replace any program that comes preloaded on your phone without hacking anything at all.]]>Dec 30th 2009 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/This man has a point. I have a Gallery App and a Browser App on my N1 that use Multi-touch for various things the most obvious being "pinch-zoom" beautifully.
Don't make apps for rooted devices, the root is only needed for custom roms to change the look and feel. Or for Pinch-Zoom in Google Maps since I doubt anyone will make as good a Maps program as that :)]]>Dec 30th 2009 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-rooted-already/

Comes from Unix/Linux, basically meaning your super user and can do what you want with/to the OS without being denied.

adb root
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin

It flashes to your device a boot.img that has ro.secure set to "0" in the ramdisk (basically enabling you to use adb root and su root). It also flashes the mentioned su binary and sets it's superuser priviledges, and lastlly, it flashes the SuperUser.apk to give you that level of protection.
The Nexus was already rooted, Paul's update only makes app-root available to users in a fairly easy way.]]>Dec 30th 2009 9:27PM
